Beyond its timeless façade, architecturally designed 'YATHONG' certainly reigns for stance, elegance and position.
Situated on a rare and verdant half acre allotment (2031m2), right in the middle of town, there is no other property within the CBD vicinity that commands such an amount of ground, with no inundation overlay (Council flood overlay map).
A beautiful entry introduces a most versatile floorplan with expansive living rooms and option for four bedrooms or three living areas, plus an office, however one chooses to occupy.
The main formal living room is of considerable size with soaring ceiling height, an open fireplace and French doors leading to the most incredible expansive portico, a serene place to sit and enjoy the private and glorious garden setting.
Vastly remodelled in 1927 and then again in 2008, the home has kept with modern times, with rewiring, plumbing, ducted underfloor gas heating and r/cycle heating and cooling in the main living room. A new kitchen sympathetic to the era was incorporated into the improvements in 2008 and boasts a Falcon dual range, Meile dishwasher, Jarrah bench tops, soft close cabinetry and a double farmhouse sink.
The solid brick home retains many original features, with an original meat safe and Cowrie pine shelving present in the walk-through larder, polished floorboards throughout, a 'Wunderlich' pressed metal ceiling in the consecutive bedroom, numerous storage cupboards with hard wood shelving, sash windows, a large attic storage with drop down ladder, and five fireplaces.
Both bathrooms have been remodelled, the main bathroom is especially lovely with a claw foot bath, large shower, marble vanity and heated floor.
The superb garden holds the original design by one of Australia's most influential garden designers Edna Walling, featuring stone walls, stone paving and extensive plantings. The brick shed and workshop is excellent with room for two cars, trailers or a boat, whilst the workshop space is generous and very serviceable.
Right in the heart of town, explore lake walking tracks, only metres to the aquatic centre, cafes, supermarkets and shops.
